"Once, in a cheap science fiction novel, Fat had come across a perfect description of the Black Iron Prison but set in the far future. So if you superimposed the past (ancient Rome) over the present (California in the twentieth century) and superimposed the the far future world of The Android Cried Me a River over that, you get the Empire, the Black Iron Prison, as the supra- or trans-temporal constant. Everyone who had ever lived was literally surrounded by the iron walls of the prison...why did these antithetical forces emerge into palpability only when the past, present, and future somehow--for whatever reason--got superimposed?" (from Valis by Philip K. Dick, page 49)
